  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  • 4️⃣ Thicken the Soup (Optional)
  • If a thicker soup is desired, mix 2 tablespoons of flour with ¼ cup water and stir it into the soup.
  • 5️⃣ Add Cream & Beef
  • Return the cooked ground beef to the pot.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and let it warm through for 5 minutes (do not boil).

For a lighter version: Use milk instead of heavy cream.
For extra richness: Stir in a handful of cheddar cheese before serving.
Make it ahead: This soup stores well in the fridge for 3-4 days or freezes for up to 3 months.
